"Drawing after a lost Self-Portrait of Watteau by François Boucher" is an 18th-century artwork by French painter François Boucher, created as a homage to his influential predecessor, Jean-Antoine Watteau. Boucher, known for his Rococo style, which featured pastoral and mythological scenes, was deeply inspired by Watteau's work. Watteau, credited with the brief yet impactful fête galante genre, was a pivotal figure in the transition from the Baroque to the Rococo aesthetic.

The drawing by Boucher is significant as it represents a direct artistic link between two major French artists of the early 18th century. Boucher's drawing is based on a self-portrait by Watteau that is no longer extant, thus providing a rare visual reference to Watteau's self-depiction. As the original self-portrait by Watteau has been lost to history, Boucher's drawing has gained importance not only as a work of art in its own right but also as a historical document.

Created with delicate lines and attention to detail, Boucher's drawing captures the essence of Watteau's appearance and artistic temperament. It is a testament to the respect and admiration Boucher held for Watteau, whose influence can be seen in the former's artistic development. The drawing is often studied for its biographical significance, as well as its contribution to the understanding of the artistic milieu of the time.

The work is typically referenced in discussions of both artists' oeuvres and is considered an important piece for understanding the legacy and impact of Watteau on subsequent generations of artists. It is also an example of the practice among artists of the period to engage with and reinterpret the works of their predecessors, a tradition that allowed for the continuation and evolution of artistic styles and themes.
